Owing to the heavy and constant rains which
prevailed at and soon after last harvest time, the
crop of wheat has been marketed in most unsatis-
factory condition, aud samples of prime milling
wheat have been rarely seen during the past eight
months. While in many cases this injury to the
grain WAS unavoidable it is to be hoped that with
this experience in the past, our farmers may be
melted to al extra effort to save their crops in
better condition, and thus secure the higher
prices which the prime article always commands.
We congratulate our city upon the large in
ase in the Wholesale grocery trade. We are in
formed that country merchants can purchase their
supplies here at or below Baltimore prices, and
save freight.
We have reason to be dovoutly thankful to the
Almighty for His mercy in sparing tho lives of
our members No death has occurred during the
past year.
The finances of the association arc in a healthy
condition. as by the report Of the treasurer here

decidedly active and toward II o'clock yielded

that large number of condemned bomb
shells. which were recently bought by Mr..
j. Dreifns, had been brought to this city on
the steamer Excelsior from Norfolk. These
shells, which were packed in boxes, were
stored in the buildings occupied by Mr.. Drei-

owners of adjoining property complained to
the Mayor that the shells were stored with.
in the corporate limits contrary to law.
The Mayor requested Superintendent of
Police Dobie and Major Duffey to examine
the shells and report If. in their opinion,
they we're dangerous These gentlemen re-
ported that the shells contained powder,
whereupon the Mayor ordered that they be
removed beyond the city limits. 1t was
urged that in case the buildings in which
the bombs were stored caught fire that part
OF the city would be burned and blown to
pieces, as neither the fremen nor citizens
could be expected to go near enough to at
tempt to eztinguish the flames.
